Weird Infra Quiz (lemmy.world)
submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by AchtungDrempels@lemmy.world to c/bicycles@lemmy.ca

This is a photo from two years ago, i stood there for a good minute wondering how the hell and why this weird cycle path was there. It is in southern France, on the climb to Col d'Ecre, bit north of Nice.

Take a guess, i finally fully understand.

SPOILERMaybe i was exaggerating when i said i fully understand it. There is this Cols Connectes thing from the department alpes maritimes where climbing a col is being gamified, to collect the cols and take the times, upload photos. And this infra is part of it, taking a photo. Maybe there is are also stations like this at the bottom and top, for the timing, but i did not see them if they were there. But i also rode some of the other cols and did not notice anything like it either, but apparently it's there.

Just today i clicked on the deeplink to the cameras. https://www.cols-connectes06.fr/consultez-les-photos.htm I don't know ho to reach this from their website.

I knew this infra was somehow part of "cols connetces", but did not really understand what it did, i had asked it before in the french cycling subreddit.
